Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

It is somewhat refreshing to see such unfiltered support for the Russian Federation, and of their war aims. Little in the way of «conserns» or «Oh no, I hope the Ukrainians don’t get encircled here» two-faced nonsense that we usually encounter from Russian apologists. The quoted post is a fully subscribed message of support to Putin’s Russia, who somehow would like to telegraph the idea that a Ukrainian surrender would be anything short of the wholesale slaughter of Ukraine’s people. So it is refreshing to see such naked bias displayed. Alas for the messenger, this does however mean that all future points will likely be automatically discounted by most contributors.

As a gentle reminder, the Russian Federation are in a fight against time, which they are likely to lose. This conflict is about outlasting the opponent, and the Russians were already on borrowed time when Donnie came into the White House. They likely hoped for a quick delivery of Ukraine to them after Inauguration, but that hasn’t happened and the way Donnie is doing things the «Peace Deal» is likely to drag on or even evaporate entirely. Both scenarios are nightmares for Moscow. They still have troops, but they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for war matériel, while Ukraine are at the head of European supply chain. It’s not a perfect supply chain, but it is at very least renewing AFU stocks with newly made gear, which is something the Russians can barely manage anymore.

So we get renewed drone strikes on Ukraine, and posts about Surrender. That’s because this is all they’ve got beyond an extremely costly crawl across the Donbass and the hope that a narcissistic nitwit in the White House will somehow hand them a win.

Their worst enemy isn’t sitting in Kiev, or London, or Brussels…that enemy is Time Itself, and they will lose to it.

We've been pointing out the absurdity of labelling as nazi a government headed by a Jewish head of state for years now. But this obvious fact rolls off them like water off a ducks back.

I like that phrase 'The Donbas crawl'. Could go down in a history book and Russia's wasteful sacrifice of troops for tiny gains (only to be outsed later on)

Russian barbarism with implicit US support

Oh I'm taking the piss out of the propagandists and useful idiots

Did that man seriously want to hand back the USA to the Indians?

There are really close calls… and then there is this.

Something about the way that cargo is secured to the truck bed makes me uneasy but at the same time, I can’t come up with a better way of doing it. Better stay clear of power lines… 😬

Deadly spoiler on that jeep sham.

"Some say" … standard weasel words used to spread disinformation. You know it's a garbage claim when you see weasel words like that.

The best sense I can make of it is Ukraine's casualties are 50% of Russia's. This is based on the Russian meat waves that have been going on for so long now.

Russian spy sensors have been found in the UK's territorial waters, positioned dangerously close to the Royal Navy's Vanguard-class nuclear submarines. As reported by The Sunday Times, these devices were discovered by naval forces, with some reaching shore and others being detected by specialized mineshunting vessels.

The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom has discovered spy devices brought ashore, which Russia would have placed to monitor British submarines, according to The Telegraph. According to the Royal Navy, these sensors were part of Russia's efforts to track the UK's submarine fleet, a vital component of the nation's nuclear deterrence strategy.

These devices are currently considered a threat to the national security of the United Kingdom. In response, operations were launched to detect them, as well as to monitor possible routes for submarines to leave the Faslane base.

The Orc oil tanker Finland seized was equipped to monitor and deploy such devices. A Chinese spy ship recently took the scenic route home around Australia's southern coast and then up the West coast Where Australia's main submarine base is located, after exercises off the East coast.

No doubt it was deploying similar sensors.

in a thread of horror, this comment deserves more love…

I didn't say to trust it. We've the other side of the coin where we are told Russian's are ignorant yokels, running out of ammunitions and victory is just around the corner.

Nearly three years since the above post, Russia has not run out.

I'm guessing the Ukranian death toll truth lies somewhere closer to McGregor than the war hungry NATO press and typically the outliers orthogonal to the orthodox have to at least have an element of truth.

Zelensky —> 46k Ukranian soldiers dead

Trump —> 700k Ukranian soldiers dead

Colonel McGregor —> 1 million + Ukranian soldiers dead

It would seem astonishing if Zelensky's figures were correct give the recruitment of new soldiers etc. You can take your pick.

If you were to address the New York Times, CNN and Reuters as you do McGregor, you would say they are complete liars and not to be listened to. Everything they said in 2022 was wrong. It's been a disaster. The Russian's were underestimated. On the otherhand McGregor while making occasional blunders has given a pretty accurate assessment of the war over time.

For someone who moans about Trump and Palestine you sure have no issue constantly regurgitating and linking to clear MAGA and Russian disinformation

But then again consistency was never a strong point
